You mean he broke things
Hmmm. I doubt that.
Donald Trump was “really, really upset” when he learned that his former White House adviser Peter Navarro had been convicted of contempt of Congress, according to the ex-president’s close ally Rudy Giuliani.
“This one really got to me,” Giuliani – the former New York City mayor and Trump attorney – said Friday on the far-right media outlet Newsmax. “I was with former president Trump when we found out about it [on Thursday], and I’ve got to tell you, he was really, really upset about it.”
No he wasn’t. He was pissed off. Not the same thing.
Trump doesn’t get “upset.” Ever. He doesn’t feel sorrow or (emotional) pain or grief, much less sympathy or pain for others. Ever. He never gets anything but angry. You know this, Giuliani knows it, everyone knows it. He doesn’t mind anything that’s not a narcissistic wound to him. He could watch a bear eat Ivanka in front of him and all he would feel is mild regret that he wouldn’t be able to leer at her any more.
What did Navarro do? Oh, a little light treason, that’s all.
A House committee investigating the attack suspected Navarro had more information about any connection between claims of voter fraud that Trump allies had pushed and the assault on the Capitol. But Navarro did not surrender any emails, reports or notes, and he refused to testify.
On Thursday, he was found guilty of two misdemeanor counts of contempt of Congress, both punishable by up to a year behind bars. Navarro’s sentencing has tentatively been scheduled for 12 January.
Gangster behavior in short.
It reminds me of that cartoon of President ‘Tricky Dick’ Nixon clinging to a tuft of grass, with the rest of him dangling over a cliff, as his nemesis the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court relentlessly approaches. Nixon is furiously scratching lines on the clifftop while yelling: “Not another step closer.!”
‘Upset’ is how a toddler is described when throwing a tantrum. It helps to assume that everyone who knows Trump has decided to treat him as a very young toddler; but, instead of guiding him to better behaviours, they indulge his whims because a three hundred pound toddler is dangerous.
Just repeating this observation so that I and others can read it again and again.

So true.
Politics the world over seems to have a lot in common with sewerage farms. In both, the biggest and most gas-filled turds (commonly called ‘floaters’ by sewerage workers) rise to the top.
Trump would have to be the King of the US Floaters.
